Nice work if you can get it!

While the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards still investigates the payment employment of Henry Conway by his father, the News of the World has an interesting story on Tory MEPs who have their snouts in the trough employed members of their families.
Top target is Sir Robert Atkins. But rather than spoil your fun and giving you the details, I will let ConservativeHome stick the knife in!
In any other occupation other than politics...
I particularly like Sir robert's comment:
"It's very complicated and I don't suppose any of your readers would understand it."

I'm not clear what the issue is with Robert Atkins. There is nothing to stop MPs or MEPs employing spouses - at least one of our MEPs does so where they are doing the job properly.
There's a big difference from the Conway case where the issue was being paid to do (allegedly) nothing.
